Wind turbine blades and engine covers

Renewable energy is in high demand. With the blades reaching speeds of hundreds of kilometers per hour, the quality standards for used composite and reinforcement materials are exceptionally demanding. Ahlstrom has been producing reliable and durable glassfiber reinforcement solutions for these applications since the early 1980’s.

Combination products Ahlstrom combination products combine both woven fabrics and chopped strand mat layer into one. They are typically used as structural layers of the laminates or as primary structure of large hand lay-up vessels. Direct roving Our direct roving is specially designed for continuous processes. The unique performance of the roving makes it suitable for laminates and profiles as well as for weaving and knitting. Infusion and RTM products Our Infusion and Resin Transfer Method (RTM) products provide a special reinforcement for your infusion and closed mold processes. Their high wetting capacity can increase your productivity and lower the costs of production. Multiaxial products Ahlstrom multiaxials are specialty reinforcements suited for a wide range of production processes: infusion and other closed mold techniques, hand lay-up, filament winding and pultrusion. Surface tissue for wind turbine blades Our glassfiber surface tissues provide the smoothness and strength properties you need in your wind turbine blade. Woven products Our woven products can be modified to meet the customer specific requirements. They are commonly used with chopped strand mats as structural layers of the laminates or as primary structure of large hand lay-up vessels.
